August 2, 2013
FEATURE
Vaults! Yes, your casinos now come with a vault (though you might want to upgrade from that old, dusty shoebox). Vaults serve two really great purposes that will open up the door for some more future updates that we have in store. Vaults allow you to store both items and chips. You can now move items from your casino floor into the vault and securely store them there (for example, if you are rearranging your floor and don't want to sell everything). Also, all profits from your casino go straight into the vault for safe-keeping. Whenever you need more chips, you simply go to one of your casinos and withdraw those chips from the vault. You have one vault that is shared between all of your casinos.
UPDATE
The back-end is in place for medals, so now we are just waiting on the art (if medals get added before public beta, they will be reset with everything else).
